What's the secret?

Rice consists of digestible and indigestible (resistant) starch. Humans do not have type 2 digestion enzymes, so this starch is not converted to sugar and absorbed into the bloodstream as it is being digested. The more resistant starch a product contains, the fewer calories our body will receive. Rice cooked in the above way has 10 times more indigestible starch than rice cooked in the conventional way and has 50-60% fewer calories. That is, the calorie content of the finished rice will remain almost the same, but only half will be absorbed, and the rest will be excreted from the body.
